REMEMBERING: KEN BARNES (1933-2015)
Record producer and musical genius Ken Barnes has died today. No words can express what he meant to Bing's career in the 1970s - so here are a few pictures of the greats he worked with - Bing, Fred Astaire, and Johnny Mercer.
He talks a bit about how he got started in the business, how he became a producer, how recording sessions changed, and a few other things. A nice thoughtful moment from the man. May his memory be eternal.
Very sad news.
ReplyDeleteI just found this very good, short interview with him, worth four or five minutes of one's time:

I'm sure he would have loved this.
